KNOWLEDGE CORNER
Quranic Ayat/Verse
He is the One who created the heavens and the earth with purpose. On the day He says Be, it (the Resurrection) will come to be. His word is the truth, and His is the kingdom on the day the Horn shall be blown. He is the Knower of the Unseen and the Seen. He is the Wise, the All-Aware.
(Surah Al-Anam, ayah 73)
The Day of Judgement is when all souls are held accountable for their time on Earth. The same way you would study for a test or exam, prepare for the afterlife by holding yourself accountable every day for what you do and improving yourself. Your character will be the best thing you imprint on others so perfect it by knowing the Prophet (SAW) and Gods Word, following the example laid out before you. Self-improvement isnt just about the mind and body, but the soul too.
Hadith
Harithah bin Wahb Al-Khuzai (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah () said: "Should I not inform you about the people of Paradise: They are every humble and weak person, who if he were to make an Oath by Allah, He would fulfil it. Should I not inform you about the people of the Fire: They are every prideful, swaggering, ill-speaking person."
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2605, Book 39, Hadith 33)
Have the courage of your convictions and cling to your faith in Allah. This, alongside your deeds will help you gain Allah's Favour and be of the people of Paradise. Avoid pride and speaking ill of others and suppress your ego.
